Eighty: Percentage of bonus I’ve cleared.
Two point twenty-five: The number of times I’ve increased my initial buy-in, including bonuses. Just under two without the bonuses.
Seven: The number of days I’ve played.
It’s really hard to believe. I don’t feel like I’m playing great, winning poker, and my time constraints relegate me to playing only an hour here and there. So a lot of this is just making out like a bandit on two or three hands and folding the rest. So I’m left to wonder if I’m just on a good run or if something about Paradise players makes them give it up when I’ve got the dominant hand. Obviously if it’s the latter, I should keep playing there. It’s still too early to say for sure (936 hands–mostly at 1/2), but I’m liking the 9.96BB/100 hands.
Here’s another number:
Thirteen: the number of days before I hit the tables in Fabulous Las Vegas! Hopefully I’ll keep up this current run and have enough in the bankroll to fund the entire trip.
So here’s a question for you Vegas gamboolers out there: you should sit down at a table with 20BB according to Love and Casino War (and have an extra 20BB to rebuy if you feel you can beat the table) and your bankroll should have 300BB to play at a particular limit according to The Cards Speak (and others as well, but that’s where I recall first seeing the number). How many big bets should you take with you for a Friday – Sunday Vegas trip? I think you can safely assume that I’ll be at the tables at least an average of eight hours a day.
